🔗 Share this article Matheus Cunha Finds the Net to Earn Man Utd a Point at Elland Road. Leeds United's a player protects the ball from the opposition's Leny Yoro in the top-flight clash at their home ground. Key Moments Calvert-Lewin watches a early header come back off the upright. Aaronson puts the hosts ahead with a low effort in the second period. Cunha responds only three minutes afterwards. Leeds extend their best Premier League undefeated streak since the turn of the century. The Red Devils' poor run of form persisted at Elland Road, but head coach the Portuguese tactician had Matheus Cunha to thank for his side not suffering even more disappointment against Leeds. The Everton loanee headed a first-period effort against the post for the confident home team before the American midfielder applied a cool finish with a low, 62nd-minute shot. With the goal, Amorim was under intense scrutiny after his side had failed to beat struggling Wolves at home earlier in the week. Nevertheless, against opponents who had less time to prepare, Cunha restored parity three minutes after the opener when he latched onto a pass from substitute the Dutchman and slid a shot underneath advancing home goalkeeper Lucas Perri. It was only the Brazilian's fourth goal since his big-money summer move and came at a time when Amorim is without four key attacking players due to a mix of fitness issues and national team commitments. Not that you would expect the hosts to care about that given their own lack of preparation time. The Swiss attacker forced a full length save out of Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens with a audacious overhead kick, and visiting heads were in hands when the Slovenian striker, who is struggling to make an impact, turned his teammate's cut-back wide from six yards out. The goalscorer, who had a goal disallowed for offside much earlier in the contest, also blasted against a post in the dying moments. The draw extends the home side's unbeaten run to seven matches, their longest such streak since 2001, and takes them eight points clear of the drop zone. For the visitors though, it was yet another opportunity to move into fourth spot, albeit only for a short time, squandered. Manchester United Breakdown: Amorim's Side Misfire Again With the Africa Cup of Nations reaching its latter stages, the United coach could be forgiven for hoping the participating nations make a swift exit. Current injuries to skipper Bruno Fernandes and England international Mason Mount only heightened the impact the unavailability of other attackers is having on the team's squad. It's not that the absent players are the answer to all of the club's problems. After all, they were part of the side that suffered poor results earlier in the season. But without them, Amorim has limited attacking options. He clearly does not trust youngster Shea Lacey or the much more experienced Joshua Zirkzee, even though the Dutch forward delivered the assist for Cunha's equaliser almost immediately after his arrival as a replacement. That leaves Cunha, who has now scored three goals in five games, and others operating out of their preferred positions, alongside Sesko. On this evidence, the expensive frontman looks no better than previous underwhelming signings, lacking in confidence and conviction in front of goal. Sesko's failure to turn home Zirkzee's cross means it is now nine games without a goal for the young striker. Leeds United Breakdown: Another Step Towards Survival After thrilling victories in their last few home games, the arrival of their fiercest rivals to home was a comparatively subdued affair. True, there were moments of typical atmosphere, but the intimidating edge was not as evident as in other encounters. Leeds' fans were more preoccupied about their side's inability to get sustained possession in advanced areas for any prolonged period. The striker's header that struck the post was an isolated moment of quality in a congested first half. It still felt as though the hosts were finding it tough when a defensive error opened the door for the opener. Ever so briefly, Leeds' ecstatic fans thought they were about to secure a rare win against Manchester United. However, there is a wider context for Daniel Farke and the club to deal with. When they suffered a poor run of form earlier in the season, many thought about the manager's future. In contrast, he is now overseeing significant progress. The job is not done yet but step by step, the team are getting nearer to securing their top-flight status. Looking Ahead Leeds have a Premier League trip to St James' Park in midweek, followed by the start of their domestic cup campaign next weekend. Manchester United face a league trip to Turf Moor before also entering their FA Cup journey with a Old Trafford tie.
